Spread Resilience Reminders™
Everyone needs resilience. The more people in a child's life who are able to have resilience-building conversations the better. Our easy-to-implement program fosters a culture of genuine belonging and connection for the entire community. Together we can get people talking to each other in ways that build people up and inspire us to be our best.
Twenty Years of Research and Development
The MacDermott Method curriculum has been validated in multiple studies, including two randomized-controlled trials, by researchers from THE DUKE CLINICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE, published in peer-reviewed journals, and proven to promote clinically significant improvement in key mental health and resilience outcomes, including anxiety, depression, distress, self-efficacy and PTSD.
Kristin MacDermott, founder of The MacDermott Method, has designed resilience-training programs for some of the highest-performing people on the planet, including Navy SEALs, LAPD officers, the National Guard, the Veteran's Administration, oncology nurses and other healthcare providers, as well as people navigating the challenges of cancer, type I diabetes and end-of-life at over 20 hospitals across the country.
Her true passion is bringing these life-changing skills to teens and pre-teens to help them flourish in the face of the loneliness, disconnection and sense of feeling overwhelmed so many of them are experiencing.
